Doug, Christina and I went to the #Langlais Preserve yesterday. The home and studios are open weekends. #Bernard #Langlais was born in Old Town Maine in 1927 and died in 1977. He lived in #Cushing and when I was living on #backcove and going to #Thomaston I drove by his place, overgrown fields with huge wooden animals sticking up through the foliage. Now it is a beautiful museum and preserve. He was famous for his sculptures and wood pieces. When his wife died, 33 years later, she gave the home, land and his work to #Colby College and a couple of years ago I saw a large show of his work in Colby's art museum. In addition to the preserve his work was distributed to 73 public institutions and places around the state of Maine.
